Set in the charming village of Yealmpton, this character-filled cottage, believed to have origins dating back to 1670, boasts spacious four-bedroom accommodation full of period charm and potential for enhancement. The property benefits from elevated views over the village and surrounding countryside, presenting an opportunity for renovation enthusiasts to explore options such as loft conversion and the repurposing of a detached barn/workshop, pending necessary planning permissions.
Yealmpton offers a prime location between the beauty of Dartmoor National Park and the stunning South Devon coastline, with proximity to Plymouth and nearby Newton Ferrers. Local amenities including shops, pubs, a primary school, and more are conveniently close.
The cottage retains numerous original features like exposed beams, flagstone floors, and stone fireplaces throughout its light-filled spaces. The sitting room is inviting with an open fireplace and doors that lead to a south-facing garden. A separate dining room makes for an excellent entertaining space, while the kitchen/breakfast area is equipped with quality units and integrated appliances alongside a practical utility room.
On the upper floor, you'll find four bedrooms including a generous principal bedroom showcasing countryside views and a walk-in wardrobe. The family bathroom and separate shower room offer functional facilities altogether with an additional reception landing suitable for use as a study or secondary living area. Notably, the loft presents significant possibilities for conversion into further accommodation.
Externally, the property features attractive gardens at both ends; the front garden is mainly lawned with mature plantings while the rear contains patios and ornamental features contributing to its tranquil outdoor environment.
A key highlight is the detached stone barn/workshop that holds considerable potential— be it for conversion into additional living space or other creative uses (subject to planning consent). Additional advantages include ample driveway parking, outdoor WC facilities, and storage areas within this unique period home that represents a rare chance to invest in a substantial property with substantial future potential in one of South Devon's most desirable locales.
